Chapter 141: Slaying the Dao Child, Disrupting the Situation
The national master, the Immortal Pudu, did not have any real power. The only thing he was in charge of was the twenty or thirty temples under his command, which were called Jingan Temple.
These temples were distributed throughout the Imperial City for believers to gather and pay their respects.
The Immortal Pudu himself lived in the Serenity Temple, which was the closest to the imperial palace, so it was convenient for him to go in and out of the palace.
The other places were managed by his Dao children.
Su Mu didn’t know what this centipede demon’s purpose was.
However, Su Mu knew that this demon would definitely not do something useless. The Tranquil Peace Temple must have some effect on it!
..
On this night, Su Mu, dressed in his night clothes, quietly snuck into a Tranquil Peace Temple.
In the middle of the night, there were no ordinary believers left in the temple, only the Taoist children under the Imperial Advisor’s command.
He saw ten Dao children sitting cross-legged in the room with their eyes closed and their heads lowered. They were chanting something.
The strange tone coupled with the dim room seemed a little strange.
Su Mu hid on the roof and listened for a while, feeling a little irritated, as if the sound would affect his mind.
Furthermore, after some observation, he did not discover any secrets here.
The only thing that was wrong was the Dao children below.
“That’s true. If Jing ‘an and the rest had any secrets that could be easily discovered, I wouldn’t have come.”
“Let’s get rid of these Dao children first.”
Last time when the blood moon was in the sky, Su Mu had seen the two Dao children under the Imperial Advisor.
These Dao children’s expressions were stiff and dull, and their auras were cold and strange.
One could tell at a glance that they were not humans!
Su Mu would never be lenient when dealing with these things that were neither human nor ghost.
..
“Wave Wave Break!”
Su Mu shouted in his heart. He suddenly jumped down and fiercely slashed down from above!
This move was from the River-Breaking Saber Technique.
Unfortunately, Su Mu had only just reached the First Rated Warrior level, so his strength was limited and he was unable to unleash the full power of this blade technique.
This was the result of him taking the Elementary Marrow Cleansing Pill and strengthening his own talent.
Otherwise, who knew when he would be able to become a First Rated Warrior…
After Su Mu made his move, the ten children immediately stopped chanting. They opened their eyes and looked up at him with a strange expression.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the next second, these children’s eyeballs actually shot out!
Behind him, there was a blood-red meridian like thing that was dancing as it flew towards Su Mu.
For a moment, his eyeballs flew everywhere, and blood flowed wildly.
It looked quite terrifying.
However, Su Mu had seen more than one or two demon beasts, and had killed even the strangest!
As the saying goes, the weirder one looks, the faster one dies.
Who cares what kind of demon he is, just kill him with your saber!
“Break!”
Su Mu let out a low shout as he gathered all his strength into the long blade in his hand, and fiercely hacked down!
The blade swept across and cut off seven or eight blood veins in succession.
However, at this point, it had exhausted all its power and was unable to deal with the other blood veins.
Moreover, many blood-red tentacle-like things emerged from the eye sockets of these dao children and continued to attack Su Mu.
Even though Su Mu was slashing with his sword, he was unable to resist their attacks.
Soon, it was wrapped up by the blood-colored tentacles and hung in the air.
Su Mu’s martial cultivation had just entered the first class, and he hadn’t even cultivated Stellar Energy.
Therefore, he could not deal with these Dao children who were neither human nor ghost with his martial arts strength alone.
But the battle was just a small test for him.
It was to test his martial arts strength and the strength of these Dao children.
Now, the test was over!
..
“Boom!”
A muffled sound suddenly erupted from the layers of entanglement.
The terrifying power broke all the blood-red tentacles growing out of the Dao children’s eyes, turning them into blood!
The ten Dao children’s stiff faces revealed a hint of surprise. Clearly, they still had some intelligence.
Under the gazes of these Dao children, a tall figure covered in corpse qi walked out from the air.
It was Su Mu, who had transformed into a flying zombie!
“Entertainment time is over. Goodbye.”
Su Mu laughed sinisterly, and then once again brandished his blade to display the Wave Breaker.
But this time, he used this move in the form of a flying zombie.
The same move, but the power was worlds apart from before!
A domineering and sharp saber Qi swept out, slashing toward the ten Dao children.
The fierce gales shook, and even space seemed to be about to be torn apart!
This saber came and went quickly.
In the next second, the saber light dissipated.
The ten Dao children were all cut in half at the waist and fell to the ground dead!
These things that were neither human nor ghost would not die even if they were cut into pieces.
However, Su Mu’s blade had not only cut off their bodies, it had also destroyed their vitality!
The only flaw of the flaw was the Sumu, the first time to use the form of the flying zombie, the skill of the knife, the perfect control of the strength of the class.
The power of this slash overflowed a lot, cutting a gap of more than ten meters in the wall of the Tranquil Peace House, shaking the foundation of the house.
The courtyard swayed as if it was about to collapse.
Seeing this, Su Mu sheathed his blade and planned to leave.
However, when he glanced at the corpses of the Dao children, he stopped in his tracks and couldn’t help but reveal a look of surprise.
No matter how a demon disguised itself, its power would dissipate after death, revealing its true form.
However, after these Dao children died, they still looked like seven or eight years old children. There was no change at all.
Something was wrong!
..
Su Mu quickly stepped forward to check, his face couldn’t help but turn gloomy.
It turned out that these Dao children were originally ordinary children.
However, someone had cast a spell on him, and he had absorbed the limbs and strength of all kinds of demons.
They mixed together and turned into a strange monster!
Someone had made these children look like this!
Su Mu could even see a hint of relief on the faces of these dead children.
They must have been living in pain and struggle every day!
They could only be manipulated as puppets.
He didn’t even have the right to die.
This kind of spell was somewhat similar to the Animal Creation Technique, but it was a hundred times more complicated. Even those with slightly lower cultivation would not be able to use it.
It was obvious that it was the work of the national master, the enlightened Pudu!
“This Da Qian is filled with evil!”
“Today, I will borrow your bodies. I hope that I can avenge you one day. Rest in peace.”
Su Mu sighed in his heart and flew out before the Tranquil Peace House collapsed.
The collapse of the house was very loud, and even in the middle of the night, it attracted the attention of some people.
Before anyone arrived, Su Mu quickly left the place and returned to his own home.
Next, he needed to wait for the matter to ferment.
Then, according to the specific situation, he would start the next step.
???
At the fourth watch of the night, the sky was still dark.
Two tall and thin figures appeared in front of the half-collapsed Tranquil Peace Temple. Their auras were cold and gloomy.
They were two thin and tall young women.
Their expressions were stiff and stiff, but their eyes were more lively than those of the Dao children.
They were wearing blue and white Daoist robes similar to those of the children. They were obviously the Imperial Advisor’s subordinates.
These two had higher status.
They were the personal attendants of the national master, the Immortal Pudu. After receiving the news, they rushed here overnight to investigate the situation.
After arriving here, this person used all sorts of methods to investigate.
“All ten Dao children were killed by a single saber strike.”
“Judging from his injuries, the enemy used the Devil Suppression Division’s River-Breaking Saber Technique.”
“After killing ten people with one strike, the momentum of the saber did not decrease. It easily shattered the wall behind it and the protective array formation on the wall.”
“This person is very likely a grandmaster-level martial artist. His identity is suspected to be a demon slayer!”
After some investigation and analysis, the two attendants looked at each other in shock.
The fact that their rigid faces could show such an expression meant that they were already extremely shocked.
A powerful existence suspected to be a demon slayer attacked Tranquil Peace Temple. The information contained in this was too shocking!
“This is a serious matter.”
The two men did not clean up the mess, the preliminary investigation results, and immediately rushed back.
Things were developing in the direction that Su Mu had hoped for.
..
A few days later, Su Mu, Yuan Qinhu, Mengyao, and the old drunkard were patrolling the Imperial City as if nothing had happened.
The Demon Slayers of the Demon Suppression Division acted in small groups, with a minimum of three people.
Naturally, Su Mu and Yuan Qinhu became teammates.
There were no missions recently, so they only needed to patrol the Imperial City every few days.
Normally speaking, demons would not appear in the Imperial City.
Therefore, even though he said that he was patrolling, he was actually just strolling around.
Life was easy.
However, Yuan Qinhu’s expression didn’t look too good.
The last mission had failed, and he and the old drunkard had failed to advance. They were still in the Human Title, Demon Slayer.
This made Yuan Qinhu very depressed.
As for the old drunkard, he still looked as if he didn’t care about anything. He drank his wine in small sips and was content.
As usual, Mengyao chatted with Su Mu, occasionally letting out a string of bell-like laughter.
The old drunkard suddenly spoke when they reached a remote area.
“Have you heard? The Tranquil Peace Temple on Xingyun Street in the north of the city was overturned and all the Dao children inside were killed.”
“It’s said that…That person was using the River-Breaking Saber Technique.”
“One slash and all ten of the Imperial Preceptor’s Dao children are gone.”
Hearing this, Yuan Qinhu was shocked. The depressed look on his face disappeared and he asked hurriedly,”
“Where did you hear that from? Really?”
Su Mu also pretended to be surprised and curious, turning his head to look at the old drunkard with Mengyao.
“I’ve been around for so many years, so I know some people.”
“If nothing unexpected happens, this news should be true!”
The old drunkard had been in the Demon Suppression Bureau for many years, and many of his teammates who used to be on good terms with him had been promoted to the top.
Yuan Qinhu couldn’t help but gasp when he realized that the news had come from the higher-ups of the Demon Suppression Division.
“What, what’s going on?”
“I’ve seen those Dao children before. They’re neither human nor ghost, but they’re not weak.”
“He killed ten people with one slash. He must be at least a grandmaster, right?”
“And he’s using the River-Breaking Saber Technique. Could he be a veteran Earth-Grade Demon Slayer?”
“Even… Or even a Heaven-tier Demon Slayer?”
The more Yuan Qinhu thought about it, the more frightened he became. Cold sweat started to drip down his forehead.
He could smell the impending storm!
